In today’s world of decreasing reimbursements, the clinical side of a medical practice needs to be managed as efficiently as possible. Why? After physician and administrator salaries, nursing salaries are a practice’s highest expense. The clinical side is one of the easiest places to institute new efficiencies and find additional resources – most likely leading to new-found profits. Leading Your Clinical Team provides guidance to clinical and nonclinical managers on tough-to-tackle issues such as:

• Nurse–physician relationship
• Nurses as gatekeepers
• Nursing performance problems
• Favoritism 
• Problem or disruptive physicians
• Physician assistants vs. nurse practitioners
• Costs and benefits of midlevel providers
• And much more

Who will benefit?

Additionally, it is a handy desk reference for clinical issues and ongoing solutions for measuring and improving efficiency in the office. Topics include:

• The right staff
